Abstract :Suture tension due to the structure of the sutures used during closure of laparotomies and the technique applied, or the cutting of the tissue while the stitches are being pulled, predisposes to incisional hernia. It is known that repairs made with the use of mesh provide more successful results in incisional hernia surgery compared to primary closure of the defect with sutures. For this reason, a multifilament suturable mesh was developed to prevent the suture from cutting the tissue due to tension at the stitch and tissue interface. In this case, the approach and early results of a recurrent umbilical hernia case operated on with suture-shaped mesh (Duramesh™), a new product developed for use in incisional hernias and abdominal closure, are presented.Keywords : hernia repair, mesh repair, umbilical hernia
